Dear Family,
Congratulations
to all of you on such a great week, what with the dance, the choir stuff, the
championship, the work, the banquet, and everything else!ª! Also,
everyone´s rooms look super nice, so congrats on that as well!!! I love
you all, and hope that you are still doing well, and by the looks of it,
staying super busy!!!
So now I will
start in on the week!! My area is super cool!! We went to Burger
King and ate as a district, which was super fun!!!! We had a zone meeting
and found out that there are 5 out of 16 missionaries in the zone are from my
CCM group!! SO that was cool to reunite with some of them for a few
hours!!! Also we have a missionary activity every week in the ward, and
we watch a movie, and invite investigators and less actives to come and
participate!!! I have also decided that I am going to continue the
tradition of pizza friday, because I can buy a pizza for 150 pesos across the
street from my house, so I am going to keep that tradition alive!!
So on Sunday,
the branch president came to me and asked me to speak in sacrament meeting...
just to remind you guys, sacrament meeting was going to start in like about 3
minutes and it was my second sunday in the area....But I did it, and it
went really well!! I was able to talk about the prophets, and I filled my
whole time with out notes or anything!! Everyone was dead silent, and
listened so well!!! It was a truly amazing experience!!!
SO my
investigator that I left in Los Girasoles, Manuel, got baptized on Saturday!!
I asked the president if I could go, and he told me no... So I was
pretty sad!! He really was one of my favorites to teach, and I taught him
for such long time!! Hopefully he goes to the temple in a year so that i
can go with him!!
So now on to
the investigators!! Right now we have a couple but they do not come to
church!! We have Beyilin, who is what we like to call a dry member!! She is just waiting until she can get baptized!!SHe is amazing
really, a 22 year old with a super strong testimony of the gospel!! She
reads in the Book of Mormon a ton!! She is going to be baptized hopefully
in April!! We also have Dari, the lady I told you about last week!!
SHe is the haitian lady, and we are working super hard with her!!
She is amazing as well!!!
Will you all
please pray for us?? We need these people to come to church, so they can
feel the spirit!! I know that this will help them!!
I love you
all so much!! Sanchez is doing well, and he is helping me a ton with
spanish!! We are going to try to start an english class, and the first
class is tomorrow in the morning!! Pray for that as well!!
Love you all!
Elder Garrett McEwan
